Too Hot for Aretha
August 15th, 2007
Turn the heat up! But not too much or else, we don’t get the Queen of Soul to grace us with a performance.
Aretha Franklin called off a planned evening concert in at Detroit’s DTE Energy Music Theater due to temperatures up in the 90s scale. The 65-year old veteran soul sensation said she was “exhausted from the heat and cannot tolerate heat in these extremely high numbers and being in concert simultaneously.”
You have to feel for her. She would have been performing with those conditions and then put under the scorching stage lights. More heat was bound to come.
